Depends on map and how good you are at blasting. Around halloween I finally got my blasting working, so I used reserve+axtuinguisher but then I quit tf2 again. Shotgun is more overall good. Only hightower really makes me use reserve (and low grav cp_orange_x4 pub where I was regular)

I am really bad at pyro, I only go pyro to kill other pyro's(especially W+M1 pyro's)So I use Stock shotting as "Primary" as i dont actully use fire, more airblast to keep the pyro's away from me. I played against 2 descent pyro's wich I both dominated by only using shotgun, and airblast. And for W+M1 pyro's its a killer.

 

If I where going to play tryhard, I would still take Stock shotgun, mostly because you only get 2,5 more damege on thoose mini crits, and you might miss thoose shots

The server I normally go on has a slightly weaker gravity so I always use the reserve shooter when I go Pyro. I also use it when I go Soldier as I'm not too good at airshots.

 

I haven't used it very much on normal gravity maps so I don't know how well it works on those. But if you use the degreaser, it's much easier to use due to the faster weapon switching so you have a bit more time to line up the shot.
